How to Volunteer
The Jasper Food Bank is ran entirely by volunteers.
Food Bank Volunteering
Our “front line” volunteers help with a wide range of tasks:
- taking or making phone calls,
- purchasing and picking up food,
- stocking and organizing at the food bank,
- boxing and distributing food,
- and dropping off deliveries.
If you’re looking to help out regularly or can only commit to a few hours every few months, we’re happy to have your help! There is a wide range of tasks for various times of day, varying days of the week. 30 minutes or 3 hours… it’s up to you!
The Jasper Food Bank Board Volunteers
Aside from the day-to-day running of the food bank, there are a number of volunteers who sit on the Jasper Food Bank Board. These Board members assist with:
- managing the finances,
- ensuring compliance with regulatory bodies,
- applying for grants,
- facilitating community partnerships,
- advocacy,
- education,
- and much more!
Dedicated board members are a crucial component to the long-term success and survival of the Jasper Food Bank. If any of the above-mentioned tasks excite you, the Board would love to have you join!
